GET READY FOR MOME GRADUATION 2024

Date: 2024.06.02

Though recurring every year, each MOME graduation period is unique, with a number of object and concept designs and artworks. Once again, there will be public diploma defences to take place between 3 and 20 June. The good news is that the MOME Diploma Exhibition showcasing the masterworks will be open longer this year, from 15 to 21 June at various locations across the Campus. Also, students from the first MA programmes to have launched in English language will be graduating this year.

Photography and Interaction Design, the first Master’s programmes offered by MOME entirely in English language, were launched in 2022. The first graduates of these programmes, recruited from the Central Eastern European region and also from Hungary, will receive their degree in 2024 after successfully defending their theses.

The MOME Graduation event series, with over three hundred students, comprises several important stages, starting from the portrait photo shoot, all the way to the ceremonial presentation of the diplomas.

Traditionally, a student or group of students is selected, based on entries submitted, to develop a concept for and shoot the portrait photos of graduating students and design the visual identity for the graduation. In 2024 the visual identity has been designed by Graphic Design MA Réka Lantos while the portrait photos were taken by Photography MA students Daniella Grinberg and Benjámin Melegh. These will appear on various platforms, such as social media, the graduation ceremony, and the online interface showcasing each graduating student.

As part of the public diploma defences students will present their masterworks, theses, and portfolios to the examination boards. The detailed schedule for each MA programme with the dates, times, and venues, as well as information about the exhibition in a breakdown by programme will be available on a graduation-related subsite.

Once again, MOME’s graduation ceremony will feature world-renowned creative professionals and artists whose career and oeuvre can serve as a model for the students, providing graduating students with takeaway and inspiration for the future.

System-level thinking in the winning student projects of the ‘Jump into the Future!’ competition

Water still feels like a given in our everyday lives – but for how much longer? This pressing issue was tackled by secondary school students in the 2025 edition of the ‘Jump into the Future!’ creative competition. Working in teams, pupils from Years 7 to 10 developed bold, imaginative ideas for the future of one of life’s most essential resources. In the second round, selected teams refined their concepts in close collaboration with MOME mentors. At the final on 25 June, ten teams presented their forward-thinking visions, with four of them awarded by a jury of MOME faculty. First place went to Ísbíltúr, second to Bacsaók, third to Code Noir, while Newwave received a special prize. All four stood out not only for their creativity, but also for their systems-level approach, serving as a powerful reminder that water scarcity is no distant threat but an issue we must act on now.

MOME students once again take top honours at the Red Dot Awards

How can we make better use of public transport infrastructure? What would a truly fast and effective life-saving device look like? And how can we save agriculture in a world without bees?
